EPDM Rubber Roofing
LM Roofing installs, repairs, restores, recovers, and replaces commercial EPDM rubber roofs. Depending on roof condition, moisture, deck condition, drainage, and applicable code, options may include seam and flashing repairs, maintenance, a recovery or overlay system, a compatible coating restoration, or full replacement. Not every roof requires a tear-off, and not every roof qualifies for an overlay or coating. Serving the Entire Tri-State Area.
Commercial Usage Cases
EPDM is a flexible rubber roofing option for low-slope warehouses, retail centers, and industrial buildings. It can suit new construction and existing roofs, subject to inspection and system design. Correct preparation, seam detailing, and maintenance help it withstand seasonal weather changes.
Evaluation & Readiness
Our team starts with a thorough substrate analysis to detect any hidden moisture or structural risks. We remove all debris and restore any damaged decking to create a clean, level foundation. This detailed approach helps ensure the synthetic membrane bonds effectively, which is vital for the long-term stability of your commercial investment.
Professional Fitting
The process utilizes expansive rubber sheets to significantly reduce the number of potential seam vulnerabilities. Depending on your building's needs, we apply fully adhered, ballasted, or mechanical fastening methods. We prioritize precision at all flashing points and curbs to facilitate an exceptionally weather-resistant roofing system.

EPDM Roofing FAQs
What is the typical lifespan of an EPDM roof?
Service life depends on the existing roof, preparation, selected system, application, and maintenance. While the material is inherently resistant to UV radiation and thermal shock, its longevity is tied directly to the quality of the initial setup and ongoing professional care provided over the years.
How are the seams of an EPDM roof joined?
We utilize advanced high-strength seam tapes and specialized primers to create a strong, durable bond between the rubber sheets. This modern approach offers high performance compared to traditional glue-based methods, creating a flexible and moisture-resistant seal that moves naturally with the expansion and contraction of your building.
What maintenance does an EPDM roof require?
Upkeep is simple but necessary for performance. We suggest scheduling professional inspections twice a year to clear drainage paths, evaluate flashing around roof penetrations, and verify that the integrity of the seams remains functional to prevent leaks.
When is EPDM the best fit for a commercial building?
This system is preferred for large-scale flat roofs where cost-efficiency and weather resistance are the primary goals. It is a reliable choice for industrial facilities and buildings in climates with significant temperature swings that require a membrane capable of stretching without cracking.
